Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, a movable stable with an automatic trough cleaning function according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a stable body 1, a water tank 2, a support base 3, a conveying box 4, and a guide box 5. A drain pipe is provided at one end of the water tank 2, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe to facilitate subsequent water replacement inside the water tank 2. However, the drain pipe is not shown in the figure. After the water tank 2 is filled with cleaning water, a guide ramp 11 is installed at the discharge port on one side of the conveying box 4. A collection box 12 is placed inside the stable body 1 below the guide ramp 11. The guide ramp 11 facilitates the direct discharge of hay residue conveyed by the conveying component 9 into the conveying box 4, and the collection box 12 can collect the discharged hay residue. The system collects food for subsequent processing. Water tank 2 is fixed inside the stable body 1, support base 3 is fixed to the top of water tank 2, and conveyor box 4 and guide box 5 are fixed to the top of support base 3. Six vertical plates 6 are fixed to conveyor box 4 and guide box 5. T-shaped shafts 7 are rotatably connected to the side walls of each vertical plate 6 via bearings. One end of two adjacent T-shaped shafts 7 is fixedly connected. Three feeding troughs 8 are located above water tank 2, and one end of each T-shaped shaft 7 is fixedly connected to a corresponding feeding trough 8. The inside of conveyor box 4 is equipped with a conveying assembly 9 for discharging residue after the feeding troughs 8 are tilted and emptied. The top of guide box 5 is equipped with a cleaning assembly 10 for simultaneously rinsing the three feeding troughs 8. This system features automatic cleaning. During the mobile stable process, the entire stable is designed as a quick-assembly container, and its internal components, such as the water tank 2, are detachable. When the entire stable needs to be transported, its internal components can be disassembled, and the container-style stable can be disassembled for transport. This mobile stable is particularly suitable for use by military horses in field training and border outposts, thus achieving convenient mobile transportation. In addition, the stable is equipped with a storage room for storing hay, utensils, etc. A protective fence door is also installed at the back of the stable, although it is not shown in the picture. When the horses have finished feeding and the feeding troughs 8 need to be cleaned, since the three feeding troughs 8 are connected and fixed together, the self-locking motor is activated to drive one of them. A T-shaped shaft 7 rotates, causing the three feeding troughs 8 to flip synchronously. The leftover grass and feed inside the feeding troughs 8 then fall into the conveying box 4. The conveying assembly 9 then discharges the leftover grass and feed from the conveying box 4. When the inside of the feeding troughs 8 needs to be cleaned, the feeding troughs 8 can be rotated to the other side to be vertical. The cleaning assembly 10 then automatically performs the cleaning operation, which is convenient to use. In addition, the entire automatically cleanable feeding trough 8 uses a combination of energy storage battery and solar power to meet the power demand. The structure of the energy storage battery and solar power is not shown in the figure. Furthermore, the required electrical components and their electrical connections are all existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0029] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the conveying assembly 9 includes two drive rollers 901 rotatably connected to the inside of the conveying box 4 via bearings. A conveyor belt 902 is mounted on the two drive rollers 901. A sprocket 903 is fixed on the surface of each drive roller 901. The two sprockets 903 are connected by a chain 904. Inside the conveying box 4, auxiliary rollers 905 are rotatably connected at equal intervals via bearings to provide auxiliary support for the conveyor belt 902. In use, the motor is started to drive one of the drive rollers 901 to rotate. At this time, with the cooperation of the two sprockets 903 and the chain 904, the two drive rollers 901 can rotate synchronously. After the two drive rollers 901 rotate, they can drive the conveyor belt 902 to rotate. Therefore, the grass residue that falls into the inside of the conveying box 4 can be conveyed. The auxiliary rollers 905 can provide auxiliary support for the conveyor belt 902.

[0030] As shown in the figure Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 10 includes three U-shaped seats 1001 sliding on the top of the flow guide box 5. Six guide rails 1011 are fixed to the top of the flow guide box 5. Two guide sliders 1012, adapted to the guide rails 1011, are fixed to the bottom of each U-shaped seat 1001, providing guidance and support for the U-shaped seat 1001 to ensure stability during sliding. Two bidirectional lead screws 1002 are rotatably connected between the inner walls of both sides of the U-shaped seat 1001 via bearings. One end of each pair of bidirectional lead screws 1002 is fixedly connected via an I-shaped connector. Both ends of the three bidirectional lead screws 1002 are threadedly connected to movable frames 1003 adapted to their surface threads. Two guide rods 1004 are fixed on each of the base 1001. The movable frame 1003 slides on the corresponding guide rods 1004. Hollow spray plates 1005 are fixed to one side wall of each movable frame 1003. A horizontal pipe 1006 is fixed to one side wall of the water tank 2. Six flexible hoses 1007 are connected and fixed to the horizontal pipe 1006. The other end of each flexible hose 1007 is connected and fixed to the inlet pipe of the corresponding hollow spray plate 1005. A water pump 1008 is fixed to the top of the support base 3. The inlet pipe of the water pump 1008 passes through the water tank 2 and extends into it. The outlet pipe of the water pump 1008 is connected and fixed to the horizontal pipe 1006. Three mounting seats 100 are fixed to one side wall of the flow guide box 5. 9. Each mounting base 1009 has an electric push rod 1010 fixed to its top. The protruding ends of the electric push rods 1010 are fixedly connected to the corresponding U-shaped seats 1001. When the feeding trough 8 needs to be cleaned, after the feeding trough 8 is rotated to the direction corresponding to the hollow spray plate 1005, the three electric push rods 1010 can be activated to simultaneously push the three U-shaped seats 1001 to move. After the U-shaped seats 1001 move, they will drive the hollow spray plate 1005 into the interior of the feeding trough 8. Then, the water pump 1008 is activated, which can pump the cleaning water in the water tank 2 into the horizontal pipe 1006, and then deliver it to the hollow spray plate 1005 through the hose 1007. The water is sprayed out through the hollow spray plate 1005 to rinse the inside of the feeding trough 8. At the same time, the motor can be started to drive one of the bidirectional lead screws 1002 to rotate in both directions. Since the three bidirectional lead screws 1002 are fixed by two I-shaped connectors, the three bidirectional lead screws 1002 can be driven to rotate in both directions at the same time. After the bidirectional lead screw 1002 rotates, it will drive the two moving frames 1003 on its surface to move in opposite directions synchronously. At this time, the two hollow spray plates 1005 on the same bidirectional lead screw 1002 can move back and forth in opposite directions synchronously, thereby achieving a thorough cleaning of the inside of the feeding trough 8. The cleaned water will then fall into the inside of the guide box 5.

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, a filter assembly 13 for treating wastewater discharged from the guide box 5 is installed on one side wall of the water tank 2. The filter assembly 13 includes a filter box 1301 fixed to one side wall of the water tank 2. One end of the discharge pipe at the bottom of the filter box 1301 is connected and fixed to the water tank 2. A frame plate 1302 is placed inside the filter box 1301. Filter screen one 1303, filter screen two 1304, and activated carbon honeycomb plate 1308 are fixed inside the frame plate 1302. The filter box 1301 also has... The system includes a flow guide hopper 1305 and two ultraviolet disinfection lamps 1306. A transparent drainage box 1307 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the flow guide hopper 1305. During use, the used cleaning water flowing into the drainage box 1307 falls into the filter box 1301. The used cleaning water undergoes double filtration through filter screens 1303 and 1304. The double-filtered water then passes through an activated carbon honeycomb plate 1308 for purification. Finally, the purified water falls back into the flow guide hopper 1305. The purified water flows downwards, passing through two ultraviolet disinfection lamps 1306 inside the filter box 1301 for sterilization. The sterilized water then flows back into the water tank 2 for recycling. Since the frame plate 1302 is positioned inside the filter box 1301, it can be easily removed later for cleaning of filter screens 1303 and 1304. A transparent guide box 1307 is installed on the guide bucket 1305. When the purified water flows through the transparent guide box 1307, its flow time is extended, allowing the ultraviolet disinfection lamps 1306 to perform more thorough sterilization. The length of the transparent guide box 1307 can be adjusted to a longer length according to usage requirements. The transparent guide box 1307 is made of thin quartz glass, allowing ultraviolet light to penetrate and effectively irradiate the water flow. Furthermore, the ultraviolet dose can be appropriately increased based on the transmittance of the quartz transparent plate.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
